Dr Malone, I doubt if any of us have any illusions that you and Dr Jill are, or ever have been anything but outstanding scientists and individuals.

PS, I enjoyed the journey back to "the nattering nabobs" description, which I believe was coined by Spiro Agnew. It was apt then, and apt now.

Odd tidbits such as these are in the files/lockers/memory banks of us 7 decade crowd.

Along with Agnew/Carter/Nixon Miscues and policy mistakes. This is the blessing to remind us we are alive and well and our America experiment is always challenging.

History not well remembered shall be relived! So dang there we go again! Good Essay.

The Deep State had a way of getting their 'man' and in that time period - their 'men'. Four of the five men on the 'Watergate team' were CIA.
